C#: 24 Scales at the Electric Bass Seat

One root, every type. Pick the one that fits the chord you are on.

Every scale type this site maps, rooted on C# and laid out at this seat. The modes of the major scale do most of the work over most of the repertoire; the rest are here for the bar where a dominant refuses to behave.

The electric bass can hold a note long enough for it to be heard as a choice rather than a step, so a scale here is read for its strong tones first and its passing tones second.
